The problem is we don’t know which corner. 😉
Longest day of the year Adee!
Shorter days begin now!
That first front is just around the corner!!!!!
And I danced with Annie.
Hamous, agreed doubly so. La spousa is in the thick of it. Oh the stories she tells. Course I’d be camping outside every night if I shared them:-)
This is how I learned to dance.

He taught me everything I know about dancing.
Some days you just need to dance.

…and surprised more don’t seek other occupations. I think they have. That’s part of the problem. I have a cousin who, after raising her kids and supporting her husband through retirement, went back to school to get her teaching degree. Her passion was inspirational. She wanted to teach kids the most at-risk. Coincidentally, she was offered a job in HISD… Read more »
Education today gives points,etc. for the number of books read – no matter the content or the comprehension of same. One of my boys (5th Grade) has previously informed me that he didn’t care if he finished his reading of the books because of that. I enjoy a good book even when difficult to get through it and we read… Read more »
And the answer is NO it is not. But still it is my fault for not noticing the highlighter.
Virtually everything I type into has spell highlighting for anything suspicious. Even an excellent speller can make a typo. If I write hippocorpamus — which is not a word — the editor I am in underlines it in red to call my attention to it. Normally I would correct that, but I’ll leave it to see if it is still… Read more »

Not a chance. Those who can’t spell are generally unaware of it.

Google says Blake Shelton is a country music star from Oklahoma I presume.
Yes fat albert, and a nice beach!
I apologize following and in advance of egregious spelling and grammar errors in posts here. It used to come more natural but it’s become something I have to work hard at. Sometimes I just shrug my shoulders and say what I want to say when I can’t get out what’s in my head.
Now back to your regularly scheduled program.
There was a horse??
That’s a pretty horse.
I like ads with horses.
Now that we’ve reached the coolest part of the day I have time to go mow.
I’m completely OCD about fixing errors in my comments here, pretending anyone actually reads them.
🙂
Agree with Shannon about smarty pants auto-correct messing things up at times. Maybe that is the annoying culprit in the numerous times the singular woman ends up being plural women in so many comment sections just about everywhere. The writers can’t be that dumb. I’m sure the auto-correct can be that dumb. And perhaps those comment sections don’t come with… Read more »
I do too, but for a different reason. There’s usually some “progressive” nitwit grammar Nazi saying “You misused ‘then’, therefore your entire argument is invalid.” I don’t want to be like that guy.
#51 fat albert Indeed the ease and speed of keyboards leads to diminished use of handwriting, particularly when hands are a bit stiff or sore from arthritis. Spouse and his younger brother unfortunately both inherited their Mom’s significant arthritis in the hands including some joint deformity. That restricts spouse’s cursive writing efforts to shorter sessions and rather limits uniform printing.… Read more »
There are so many, but the then/than thing still makes me cringe.
I just blow off the spelling errors now by blaming auto-correct, pretending there couldn’t possibly be that many bad spellers.
I have to confess (sadly) that I have lost the ability to write cursively, simply due to disuse. Me too. I have to go back and pull out my penmanship award from 3rd grade to remind myself that I used to know how to write. The spelling issue is another thing entirely. To me nothing speaks more quickly of a… Read more »
Adee: I have to confess (sadly) that I have lost the ability to write cursively, simply due to disuse. But, I can and do print neatly and legibly when required. Sadly, true penmanship is indeed a dying art (interesting, my wife is a commercial artist who is accomplished at calligraphy. So I rely on her for that kind of thing.… Read more »
I just finished watching a video of a panel discussion at the 25th anniversary of First Things magazine and honoring founder Richard John Neuhaus. R.R. Reno, current editor, told of a meeting he had with Neuhaus following the 2006 Congressional elections which were so disastrous for the Republicans. Reno had predicted the outcome and was quite upset. Father Neuhaus, puffing… Read more »
#33 Hamous – Hey, its not MY fault that our civilization comes from Europe and and not the Congo.
Global warming caused Charleston.
#32 fat albert Sadly, I think you nailed it. One might hope that the smaller number of private and parochial schools still keep literary values alive as well as traditional teaching methods that have worked well for generations in many disciplines. There is some excuse for illegible cursive signatures/scrawls as being exclusive to the owner of same and for difficulty… Read more »
♫ Raindrops keep fallin’ on my head ♫
I got up early this morning (for me, for me) and wanted some exercise, so I made a start on a long-neglected job in the front yard. I had paid mowing last year and the doofus did a terrible job, of both mowing but especially edging. Result was San Augustine runners infiltrated into every flower and shrub bed. I started… Read more »
Who the heck is BJ Thomas?
The boss and his wife invited us to go see BJ Thomas with them last night at the Crighton Theatre in Conroe. we were among the youngest there, it’s like the Fountain of Youth in there I tell you!
Good morning Hamsters, especially to our good Hamster dads. Enjoy your special day.
I’ll trade my Father of the Year award for some danged breakfast!

I’m not sure myself, but he sure is special to that feller! lol
Who is Blake Shelton?
Happy Father’s Day to all you dads!

I was born the following month.
Just call me youngster.
Marcus Lutrell needs to learn how to smile.
You wimmins best get slicked up!

Happy Father’s Day to all the Dad’s out there. Any young man can father a child, but it takes a man to be a real Daddy! Me and my Daddy @ Kowaliga Beach, Lake Martin, Alabama June of 55, I’d have been a year and a half.
Check your patriarchal white privilege, racist!
#24 Adee: Actually, it’s even worse. I discovered a long time ago that a large part of the inability of the current generation to write was the fact that they don’t read. Most of the stuff the ir schools require them to read is poorly written dreck and in a lot of cases the English teachers are as poorly educated… Read more »
Sarge
Mebbe we should do roll call every morning for a few days, in case anyone turns up missing. Sounds like Sarge wants to practice…
30-Eight Special
A week ago on Friday the TPA was dead in The House.
Yesterday it passed by 10 votes (special thanks to my congressman Mr J. Cumbersome)–Same old shinola.

Great column.
